2020 Map of Ousley

About this map

The Withlacoochee River carves a serpentine path through the borderlands of Brooks and Lowndes Counties, defining the drainage patterns of this South Georgia landscape. In this 2020 survey, the small community of Ousley sits along the primary east-west highway corridor, flanked by the settlements of Durden and Blue Springs. The map reveals a transition from the dense swampy bottomlands near the river and its tributaries, such as Tiger Cr and Okapilco Cr, to the upland residential developments appearing in the northeast corner near Troupeville Hwy. Genealogists may find interest in the location of Lebanon Cem near the western edge. Notable water features like Langdale Lake and the aptly named Millrace Cr provide insight into the historical and modern water management of the region, while a network of rural roads like Crosbytown Rd connects the scattered homesteads and agricultural tracts.
